The Harvest is now completed; and a more early or .expeditious one is not perhaps on record in Europe. The constancy will power of the solar heat and drought had such a quickening effect, as to ripen all kinds of grain and pulse nearly at the same time; even those between which, in other seasons,' there has been more than a month of in terval. Hay and corn, also, were actually carried on to gether, by those who had deferred cutting their grasS in the, hope of a change of weather. This necessarily occa sioned a great and sudden demand for laboltrers, and some disappointment, where they had not been timely provided and assembled. In some parts of Kent, we had heavy com daints among the labourers, that the Irish in great num ers took the work out of their hands at an inferior price; whihit in others, we saw in , a long track of country extensive fields of wheat, the ears bending and noddi4 from . ' ripeness; a ; state in which much loss may ..be in curred, where only two men, Or a man and woman were at work. On the whole, however, never was corn harvested, sacked, and housed with greater expedi tion. Certain of our correspondents lament the neces sity of using the scytht;, the ripening progress in the corn advancing so rapidly ; but mowing all kinds of corn, is an old and prevailing custom in some parts of the , North, .and also upon the C on ti nent . Th e l ate attempts to re introduce trials of the Hainault scythe do not appear to have succeeded : our labourers deem it a heavy and incon venient tool. From Bs. to 16s. per acre have been given for reaping wheat ; and men by the day, have been paid 2s. toss. 6d., with meat and beer;: women is. Gd. to 3s. per day with beer. As to the quantity and quality of the various articles of produce, it is most probable, among various accounts, that the wheat crop, in some considerable degree, exceeds an average in quantity; but the quality is not of sfick general characteristic excellence as has been witnessed in some former years The corn, however, being universally dry, and consequently heavy, will be profitable to the flour ma nufacturer. The straw, not indeed so bulky as in som e seasons, ye t in great plenty, is of the finest and most pure. Barley, oats, and pulse, take them generally, are perhaps barely half a crop; but there are'&rtainly, in various parts of the country, considerable breadths of barley and oats of which the growers do not complain, and the quality of which is fine. FEMALE FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER. (From La Belle Assemblde.) PRIVATE CONCERT COSTUME.—A dress of canary-yellow Witty, with two rows of double flounces delicately scalloped, edged with narrow white blond, and each row of the flounces sin-mounted by a rich ornament of white satin foliage.

A very broad blond tuckewof a light pattern, scalloped at the edge, falls over the bust, hick, and shoulders, each of which is ornamented with a bow of broad ribbon, of canary-yellow, which boWs are plaCed on the falling tucker. 'The hair is arranged in the Lesbian style; the curls very full, long, and large in front; and the Sappho knot is separated from the front hair by a rich antique iliadenbos regal fillet, composed of .jenfels, or wrought gold: p( the 4ftet .- raaterial is the necklace, Whiell is of the most- mini** Itubitsi,' set round with small pearls, fasten Of; festoon-chains of the necklace, at equal distances frotn.eick ether.

A triple French ruff of Udine* lace encircles- the throat, and with this dress , are worn bracers of broad jonquil ribbon : over the shoulders depend four en& of the same ribbon, each having one loop of a bow at the top ;. ,the bracers terminate in o rosette. in front of the girdle, which is of dark braided hair, the Same as the bracelet, from this rosette hang two long ends handsomely fringed. The hat is of white gros de Naples, with the crown plentifully besprinkled with yellow and white jonquils ; and under the hrith, just above the left eyebrow, are two jonquils, one whits, the other yellow : these flowers are rather larger than nature. , The dress, altogether, is very elegant, and the hat of a shape pectiliarly becoming ; being a great impitvement on the Pamela hat, which it resembles, but has . a much more tasteful appearance. A sea green parasol is generally adopted with this costume. Prom Acherman's 'Repository of Arts, Fashion s , ?re.

Monthly Magazine 1 S WiurrAgMt. Literary Magnet... f The announcement ,!f• C :t E g ' an Kz:ie"Dr'aPyal” is *to a 1 large portion of th e London —and indeed Provincial— literati, a day of infi n i te expectation. A t t hi s season Mail. of the year in particular it comes to us as a God-send; for Bond -street, like Ossitin's Hall of Balclutha, is desolate ; silence is lord of Pall Mall, and the glory or Ichabod of Waterloo-plac e , has gone—not for ever, but 'at least until next Spring. For the ensuing week, then (the orthodox eternity of a periodical), the Monthly Journals and thasir readers will be revelling in all the, fullness. of delight, uythl y without cause ; for mixed up with much that is "most tolerable, and not to be endured," there is yet a great deal of interesting matter that may fairly usurp a spare corner in the mind, until " pushed from its stool" by the fresher materials of next October. To begin with the New Monthly. The principal feature of this periodical,' (to quote the remarks of a contemporary, with the justice of p ar t . o f which only we agree) is a sort of faded wit, gleaned from the re collections of a sprightly writer, and put forth with a tact and elegance peculiarly adapted to the day. To any one, however versed in the humour of the Augustan age, on which the wag of the New. Monthly has formed his style ; it will appear, as it really is, a distil lation, and by no means of the strongest power. Mr. Campbell, indeed, spoiled by a perpetual effort at polish, to which he sacrifices all the freshness of thought, has placed his mark upon the Journal in questio n , so t h at a ll wh o contribute-to its pages, contribute with the fear of rejection before their eyes. Could we place the mind in leading -strings, and by so doing improve its energy, this would be well ; but unfortunately it is the most , elastic part of man, and eagle-like, spurns the very idea of restraint. In its Essays, however, not professedly witty, the New 'Monthly is superior to all others: it brings to its task more elegance and taste than Elackwood ; snore fancy than the London ; more information than the Monthly; and throws, over its style a chastened splendOur of diction that tickles both the ear and eye. We fou»d this assertion, firstly, on Mr. Campbell's own classical criticisms ; and secondly, on a series of papers on " The I r i s h Bar," which app eare d a f ew months since, from the pen, we understand, of Mr; Shiel. In its' poetry the New Monthly proudly stands unrivalled : the choicest pens of the (lay here pour forth unrestrained their musings, for the first minstrel of his time is the judge, and genius can fear nothing from such an ordeal. Its politics, however, like its wit, is faded: osteusiby Whiggish, with poi , ward then,, c doh of radicalism: : Witness the' payiera cutithia so4pirita..of the which nothing but their litarary'litillitittay eiuthi,havp recommended. In the present trtfilith the iiirtiairfr in question is more tlian usually animated. The " Dublin Tabinet Ball," which, to use a newspaper phrase, is " its leader," ,deserves its situation, if only for the alternate spirit and tenderness with which it is pregnant, even "to fullness." The close, descriptixe of a young girl seen for an instant among some dancers at the ball is impressive, not to say dramatic, and to a young mind, some twenty years greener than ourselves, will be fraught with enchantment. From a paper, entitled " Recollections of Dr. Parr," a scholar who belongs to the past age in intellect, when, what is now called an inert mass of learning, was the prime feature among literati; we quote the following extracts for my suggestion. He once introduced me to a lady into whose house he had brought me as a guest, in the following manner. " Allow me, Madam, to introduce to you, an old pupil, whom I have often flogged, and who is I assure you, all the better for it." Dr. Purr used to express his sentiments of his three favourite divines, Hooker, Barrow, and Jeremy Taylor, as follows : `llx,r,Fov p.sv •13:4•-9.21,11,2,:tv oe Pappouov—xxi cfnXtu TrztAccp.c,v. Parr's correspondence was so extensive, that the expellee of postage would have been very serious, if the letters received ity him had not , been franked, as was almost invariably the cams, for which purpose several of his parliamentary friends volunteered their services. His own letters to individuals in London were always inclosed in an envelope to a Peer or &tenter of Par liament. Although it is undoubtedly trite -that the Doctor attributed The Pursuits of Literature" to Matthias, yet I live heard him say, ", Rennell, Sir, bud a &no Auger in the Minding to Dr.= %men, who, as my preceptor thought, entertained hostile ten. timents towards.hini. I recollect, many years ago, going with Parr and Sir James Mackintosh to the Temple Church, to bear Dr. Rennell, who was Abutter of the Temple, preach. He took for his text, " Ye men of Athens, I see that in all things ye ure too superstitious," which he made the groundwork of a violent phillippic against the Roman Catholics, endeavouring to prove that their doctrines and principles necomarily made them atheists. Never shall I forget the indignant gesturei of Parr, who sat with Sir James Mackintosh and myself in a pew near the pulpit.— " Good God," he exclaimed, "was there ever before an instance of a clergyman delivering from the pulpit a discourse, the object of which is to show, that the whole of Christendont was for up wards of fourteen centitries under the dominion of atheism ?" Dr. Rennell preached five aerators on the above-mentioned text. The four first were a continued climax of severity against the Papists; and it was therefore thought that the fifth and last would be the ne plus ultra of vituperation. Under this impras lion, the Temple Church, on the day of its being preached, was throngt;d with visitors from all parts of the metropolis, including a considerable number of Romani Catholics. After the preliminary prayer, the expectations of the congregation were raised to the highest pitch. But greatly were they disappointed; for the tier mon in question was a mere milk and water affair in comparison with those which preceded it, the severity of which Dr. Rennell endeavoured to soften down as much as possible. Some persons said at the time tilt this was in consequence of a hint from a dis tinguished member of the Cabinet. Speaking of a volume of Dr. Rennell's sermons, Parr said, " There is only one that I like. It is on gambling. • That, Sir, is very fine, indeed. Repoli never wrote so well, either before or since." Having asked the Doctor his opinion of a Latin translation by Mr. Daniel French, the barrister, of the first hook of Telemachus, which I had put into his hands a few days previously, Parr said, Sir, it is a noble translation, quite Ciceronien, and worthy of a work of Fenton. Why does not Mr. French continue it ?" This was very high praise from the preceptor, who was extremely fastidious as to modern Latin. • . Having inquired of Parr what he. thought .Para dine Regained," he replied, " I recollect one yeti , fine passage,"..... He then repeated the following description of the banquet prepared by Satan for our Saviour in the wilderness " He wake no dream, for as his words had end, Our Saviour lifting up his eyes, beheld • In ample space under the broadest shade A table richly spread in regal mode, With dishes piled, and'meats of noblest sort And savour, beasts of chase, or fowl of game In pussy built, or from the spit, or boild.

Arabian odour* fann'd From their soft wings, and Flora's earliest smells." " These lines," said the Doctor, " are perhaps equal to any thing in Paradise Lost. But in Paradise Regained there ere eery few fine passages." The " Sailor's Funeral at Sea" i 8 conceived and executed in the tenderest spirit of poetry : we give it entire : ON A SAILOR'S FUNERAL AT SEA. He is not where his fathers lie, He sleeps not where they sleep-- His name a wreck of memory, His dwelling-place the deep.... Down mid unfathom'd gulfs he lies, And ocean's unveil'd mysteries.

Grey was the dawn, end not a braid Curl'd on the billow's brow, While on the deck the prayer was said And be we. cast below, Into the waveless glistening sea That closed above him tranquilly.

They wrapp'd no shroud his limbs around, No bier sustain 'd his form ; About the come its bed they bound, Which, oft in calm and stOrm, The *lumberer and the dreamer bore, Who now shall dream and wake no more.

But, thank heaven! our present Tourist has escaped this dis tresi,ing mania, as the following diverting extract will prove SATURDAY, OCT. 22.-4 rose at th e u nna t ura l h our o f f our , and got into a good roomy carria ge d rawn b y three horses, with four other persons, the servants of a nobleman of Turin, and a boy three years and a half old; and thus com menced travelling in true Italian fashion, by vetturino. The mad was hilly and extremely, dusty, the land had, and producing a great quantity of chesnuts : as we approached Genoa we found handsome country-houses—but for the absence of green fields and the presence of dry rivers, which in summer are large tracts of bare shingles, it would be a tine country. From the top of a hill I first saw and saluted the much-sung Mediterranean with pleasuir, although I have too much reason to be dissatisfied with that sea. It is said that the Italians are teirmerate, and by no means great eaters—there axe surely sorne exveption* ; I have seen Italian women devour most - frightful suppers. I remember once observing in a cuffee-house in London, an Italian singer of great comic powers, dealing drastically with a loin of pork, in a manner peculiar, energetic, and almost. miraculous. As soon as it was light this morning, the boy of three years and a half old, who was called a delicate child, ate cakes, and sweetmeats for. an hour; he then took to bread and cheese and the legs of cold fowls, and afterwards to hard pears, and washed them down with a good glass of sri far from beitig,fatigued, he kept asking for *cad, and pointing to the ebeamits on the trees, said that they were good to eat. At ten we bad a breakfast ala four ehette; as it was a meagre day, some of the party abstained from flesh---the boy served on both sides with credit: ha eat meat with the feasters ' and fish and eggs with the fasters; . and after this meal, he found out two Spaniards who were busy with a fowl and sausages, and partook of their fare. During our afternoon's, ride 14 , 410 not refuse comfits and fruit; and when I asked him if he Vfftri hungry, if he would like a slice of cold 'meat, some cheese, and a hard boiled egg, he always answered yeS, and seemed dis appointed'that it Was only a miestion of idle curiosity. " The, Private HiStory of the Rise • and fall of a • Morning Pap er " is more interesting from its subject than its mode of treatment. It contains throughout a liberal abundance of personality, especially with ,re gard to M r . 'Ty n d a l e ;. fact, "the galled jade winces in its pages, so we Will leave her to her own sufferings as 1 a punishme n t. a Miers"Travels in Chile" are amusing enough ; but who cares about ChilA ? Capt. Cochrane tried a few months since to create an interest in its be half, but even he failed ; and the dwarf is not likely to be successful where the giant failed. The " Diary tbr the month of August" is unusually sparkling ; the e".e cution, in short, is equal to the conception, and re can give it no better praise. Whoever be its com piler, he has some thought, and infinite humour, with a capacity—eminently valuable in these days—,of turn ing passing events to a ludicrous and even instructive account. " Table Talk" is a creditable make up, and fraught with all due entertainment to that numerous class of readers entitled ,gossips ; so are the " Adven tures of a foreigner in Greece 1 --,-most likely Captain Blaquiere—whieb contain much lOcal and novel in formation. The Literary Magnet is another periodical of an humbler class than the fanner, but still meritorious, in its literary character. Whenever its accomplished Editor, Mr. Alaric Watts, seriously bends his atten tion to a work, we are quite sure, he will do it well ; why then in the case of the Magnet is he so sparing of his Own poetry ?

On one occasion, I recollect the Doctor's making the pupils get up at two o'clock in the morning, during a tremendous thunder storm. We found our preceptor in the library, smoking with philosophical tranquillity, the windows and door being open. He was dressed in a suit of _rusty black, with a large glued cocked hat over his nightcap. After desiring us to sit down, he gave us a most interesting account of the facts and discoveries connected with electricity, Dr. Franklin's invention of conductor*, kc. in terspersed with amusing anecdotes, having reference to the same subject. All this time, P arr went on smok i ng at intervals, with perfect composure, whilst the rain fell down in torrents, which, with the awful claps of thunder, and vivid flashes of lightning, produced a very striki ng e ff ect upon our m i n d s . I t W as lik e listening -to a disquisition upon lava, near the-crater of Mount Vesuvius. Nothing could exceed my preceptor's benevolent sea! on once.- 'ions where his services as a clergyman were required by the sick, the oppressed, or the unfortunate, or by the criminal setteneed to forfeit hie life to the laws of his country. In one ielstance of this latter description, having reason to suppose the evidence de fectives, his exertions were most active and unremitting to obtain a respite, which he effected through the late Duke of Portland, to whom he addressed a very eloquent letter on the subject : and he had ultimately the satisfaction of procuring, through the same channel, a full pardon for the unfortunate man, whose innocence was proved satisfactorily ; and of which the Doctor was so con vinced that he took him into hi s serv i ce unt il h e h a d obtained anothir situation. It is gratifying to add, that the man's tubas; quent conduct was such as to justify , the exertions which were made in his favour. Of a similar description' was the conduct of Parr, when hii friend Mr. Oliver, an apothecary at Stafford, Wee tried for the murder of a gentleman. who was proprietor of a pottery in that neighbourh oo d, and seli?se ountest Mr. Oliver had obtained to marry his daughter. Raving subsequently refused to fulfil his Promise, and having forhiddan.the .visits of Arr. Oliver, the latter was so exasperated by the disappointment of his hopes, that he called upon the father of the lady,. and upon hearing him repeat his refusal, shot hire on the spot. The only ground of defence on the trial was the insanity of the prisoner, of which the Doctor was so firmly convinced, that he strained every nerve iu his favour. But all his exertions were fruitless. The murder, indeed, was effected with much deliberation, and after previously purchasing a mould wherewith to cast the bullets. This circumstance WAS fatal. During the interval between the sentence passed on Mr. Oliver and his execution, Parr visited bile daily in hie, cell, end remained with him during the whole of the night precedin g , th e aw f u l cateatroptie, pouring balm into the wounds of his friend's afflicted Doc t to ha r t too my k mind, and preparing him by prayer and exhortation for another world.
